This is an eye-turning passive house design, thanks to the design from Marie Ljubojevic and Lauren McCunney at NK Architects. Of note, this home uses 75 to 80 percent less energy than homes built to current code standards.

  • We should really raise that energy efficiency metric in current building codes. It’s one thing to tolerate inefficiencies in a house that’s already built as it can be expensive to fix, but new buildings should be MUCH more efficiently that the currently Standard…
